    Im an absolute chocoholic...the slim fast bars hold me over. They are made with real chocolate...atleast thats what it tastes like haha!!! If that doesnt work for you the low fat puddings (not sure how many calories are in it) are pretty good and curve cravings!!

    A FORMER chocoholic here. I had to go "cold turkey" for 2 months before the cravings subsided.
    Now if I want a chocolaty treat I have a fat free chocolate jello pudding cup. They are only 100 calories and fit the bill!

    Yep!!! Chocolate Shakeology and the p90X protein bars! I use to eat the FIber Plus antioxidant Bars too. Those are good. There is also Dark Chocolate if you can limit yourself.

    Yoplait has a decent chocolate flavor. Plus the little 100 calorie pudding snack pack things are good too. I also do the dark chocolate Hershey's kisses. Pop one in and let it melt slowly...plus I freeze it first...makes it last a little longer. York peppermint patties are good too. I try to stick with the dark chocolate.

    I try to stick to good quality dark chocolate, which is more satisfying in small quantities than milk chocolate.

    Also, cocoa nibs are your friend! They bitter on their own so you'll probably want to mix them with something, but if you use them in place of chocolate chips, you get the chocolatey taste with significantly fewer calories. I'll sometimes have a tiny bowl of whipped cream, sprinkled with cocoa nibs, and call it dessert ^_-

    I love chocolate with a passion. I usually eat one of those fiber one chocolate and oats bars. They're about 140 calories and they have a 90 calorie bar too.

    I am also a chocoholic :( I've been trying lately to find new ways to satisfy my enormous sweet tooth. Try sugar free jello puddings. They are only 60 calories and come in many flavors. I also buy 100 calorie chocolate covered pretzels or Nature Valley Oats and Dark Chocolate granola bars. Oh and I recently tried Eating Right 100 calorie fugde ice cream bars. Sooo good. Hope these help!

    Yep, choc. is my nemisis! I found on here the 'skinny cow' ice cream? I'm going to get some this weekend and see how it is. It appears to be low cal and others say it's good.

    I love chocolate and cannot consume dairy, so good dark chocolate fits the bill for me. Like sutehi said, it takes less of it to satisfy, due to its intense flavor. So my craving is satisfied at about 160 cals (1/3 bar).

    My downfall is Snickers. I found the 'minis' 4 for only 170 cals. I eat them so slowly... teeny, tiny bites.... (totally pathetic I know- but I want it to last as long as poss!) Usually I can get by with only 1 or 2. :-)

    Chocolate Cheerios are also pretty good. I eat them dry though, don't like them with milk.

    Chocolate milk works sometimes too.

    I was completely addicted to chocolate before I started this weightloss. I had to completely cut it out, moderation was not an option to be honest. I used to consume 2000 calories worth of chocolate - per day.

    It took a few weeks before I stopped thinking about the stuff and now it hardly ever crosses my mind. In the last five months, I have eaten chocolate once and would never go back to what I used to be like.

    Sorry I can't think of an option for you.

    Ghiradelli 60 % Cocoa semi sweet morsels.........only 5 cals per drop, and when you eat about 15 or so , they kinda fill you up........and they are supposedly OK to eat, and in moderation ,but good for your heart.......

    just a little though......Lloyd

    YES, I have the perfect thing for you, just discovered it... Altoids mints dipped in dark chocolate... you can have 2 for only 15 calories! Totally satisfying!!

    And when I need a little something more... those decadent Dove Promises are only 40-45 calories each.

    I also keep fudgesicles on hand at 100 calories each.

    Oh, and you can make cocoa or cafe mocha with nonfat or 1% milk, coffee, unsweetened cocoa powder and Splenda.... also very satisfying and low cal. You can add mint or cinnamon or other extracts to it, too.

    Cocoa Krispies are also pretty low calorie, I think.

    I am going to have to cut back on the chocolate again as well. I have found, that since i have cut most of the sugar out of my diet, i really don't crave all kinds of chocolate. I only crave Dark Chocolate. I buy those Dove Dark Chocolate pieces, or the Ghiardeli 60% Cocoa Pieces. Yummo...and one does the trick for me. I usualy have 1 piece ever night after dinner. Gotta have the tidbits of chocolate!

    I keep mini cocolate chips in the fridge and measure out a teaspoon when I'm desperate for chocolate. Since they're so small if you eat them slowly they last longer.

    I also sprinkle a teaspoon of them on 1/2 cup of strawberries w/ a tablespoon of ff coolwhip. Yum.

    I have chocolate almost every day. Some don't agree with it but this is real life. I keep Hershey's Kisses w/Almonds (24 cals each) and Dove dark chocolate in my freezer. I slowly enjoy 1 - 2 kisses or 1 dove as needed... I usually have 5 pieces total in a day and rarely feel deprived.

    Enjoy your chocolate.

    One last thing...sometimes I set out a few kisses by my Elliptical and enjoy them when I'm done. Makes the workout that much more enjoyable.:happy:
